Along with the poster, Kher added a caption praising Tacker's performance: "ACTORS of TANVI THE GREAT: Happy Birthday Karan! When I watched #NeerajPandey's 'Special Ops', I was deeply impressed by the presence and performance of #KaranTacker. #Khaki The Bihar Chapter was equally impressive! Karan has this unique ability to make his performances look effortless while still carrying the weight of a seasoned actor. The role he plays in #TanviTheGreat had these requirements! He carries the Indian Army uniform and the responsibilities that come along with it with finesse, dignity, and majestic grace. You will love him in TTG! Thank you, Karan, for your love, dedication, and BRILLIANCE! Happy Birthday once again, my friend. Jai Ho and Jai Hind! "

In a statement shared by the film's team, the actor said, "This moment is incredibly surreal. To debut on the big screen with a film like Tanvi The Great, under the direction of someone I've admired for years -- Anupam Kher sir -- is not just a professional milestone, it's a dream manifested."
"Playing Capt. Samar Raina challenged me in ways I'd never imagined. Getting the opportunity to represent India at Cannes with this film is humbling beyond words. As an actor, you crave stories that move people, that matter -- and Tanvi The Great is exactly that. I'm grateful to Anupam sir and Boman sir for believing in me, for giving me a space where I could fly. I can't put into words the thrill of sharing a glimpse of the world we have created," he added.
